After three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens following his selection in the 2019 NFL Draft, Brown asked to be traded to the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. Notwithstanding his injuries, he shown his ability, particularly in his breakthrough 2021 season in which he recorded 1,008 yards and 91 receptions.

Even while injuries have kept him down, Brown’s rapport with quarterbacks like Kyler Murray and Lamar Jackson highlights his potential impact in Kansas City.
